Looks like the makers of Sony TV’s (in) famous show,
Pehredaar Piya Ki have had enough of negativity attached to their show.
Probably in an effort to undo the damage done, they have taken a surprising
decision. Why is it surprising? Well, keep reading.
Recently BCCC directed Sony TV to run the show in a late
slot. Not just this! The channel was also asked to run a disclaimer throughout
the show saying that it does not encourage child marriage.

Now, after changing the time slot and running the
disclaimer, makers along with the channel have also decided to take a leap of
12 years in and take the story ahead in October.
Isn’t it surprising considering the show was launched
almost a month back? While leaps are common TRP boosters for Indian TV shows
yet to introduce it so soon in a show’s life, is surely weird! Of course, now
the young boy, Afaan Khan will no longer be a part of the show and will be
replaced by a grown-up actor after the leap.
A Still From Pehredaar Piya Ki
While the makers might say it’s what they always planned
to do, we feel the reason for this could be the controversies the show has been
surrounded with ever since it started.
Interestingly, a few days back, when the producers of the
show- Shashi and Sumeet addressed the media to clear the air around the show,
Shashi Mittal said that no leap will be taken in the show till the story
demands it.

The show has been receiving a lot of backlash as it
brings to the audience the atrocious story of a 9-year-old boy(Afaan Khan)
getting married to an 18-year-old girl (Tejaswi).
Let’s see if after the leap, the show manages to enter
the good books of the viewers.
